To start off with Im a brand new Airmen I've been in for almost a year now been at my base for 6 months. Now I'm not looking to paint my self as a perfect person because im not, I have my faults like anyone else. I forgot to shave one day they told me to fix it and I did. I forgot to sign a vehicle off I told them it would not happen again and it didn't. Im saying this to prefess the fact that one thing does not go in one ear and out the other. I listen to the criticism and I learn from it. A week ago I failed a diagnostic pt test in which I got a 74...one point below the passing. Did I fail yes, am I working my ass off so I don't make that mistake again yes. But ever since then they keep bringing up those one off things I did and telling me I'm "losing focus". This supervisor bleeds red white and blue so I feel like if i bring anything up to them they wont have it. I posting this to see if I'm misunderstanding his intentions. Are they just trying to break me down to build me back up? Someone in our shop just got a dui not even a month ago and he still has a stripe and only got a "that was bad, dont do that" or at least thats what he said happened. So as the title says, why are they harder on me than anyone else in my shop
You’re brand new and PT fails can get you kicked out. They’re stressing the importance of not fucking up very easy tasks that when not taken seriously can wreck your career.
Supervising sucks when you’re held responsible for another grown adult’s actions. When you mess up, you see them being hard on you. What you don’t see is that someone else probably had the same talk with them, as if THEY were the one who personally messed up. They’re getting on you in hopes that these little things stop happening before they turn into bigger things. Not shaving may seem little, but they’re concerned if you forgot to do something that was just drilled into you at BMT every day for weeks on end, then how will you remember things you were only told once or twice (like most tasks airmen are expected to accomplish)?
Be happy you have a supervisor who cares. One who brushes everything off ends up being much worse in the long run.

According to your comment history, you’re allegedly an actual doctor.
You’re in the same boat? You can’t remember simple tasks despite being told daily? You forgot that basic physical fitness is important? You get told to do things that are important but seem menial, and just brain dump them?
You really might be my PCM by the sound of it.
